you have to hunt george w. bush interviews on youtube. it's cheney hosting fund-raisers for romney at his house. he won't even say george w. bush's name on the record. dick cheney is the guy republicans have welcomed back to capitol hill today to argue for his chosen policies on the military. while george w. bush was making his 22nd endorsement that included referring to politics as a swamp he crawled out of in an hour-long interview with an obscure think tank. this california college think tank listed the interview privately. if he looks teeth on edge while he's making the endorsement, maybe it's because he seems to recognize that no one wants to run with him as the wind beneath their wings. do not count george bush out. he's reinventing himself starting with a new book that's out today. it's called "the 4% solution, unleashing the economic growth america needs," and there's a foreword by president bush, says his name twice on the cover, has a bunch of essays by economists he likes, about how the economy can be made to grow at a rate of
